Some of the messages contained offensive language about Coleen and her husband Wayne.

However, Rebekah’s barrister denied some of the “nasty” comments were about Coleen.

Her barrister, Hugh Tomlinson QC, told the court: “This is not a passage about Mrs Rooney, it is a passage about someone else.”

Following the hearing this week, Coleen took to social media to thank followers for their support.

“There are a lot of really good people in this world.”

Coleen’s message also comes after the mum-of-four opened up about her marriage in a new documentary.

Wayne’s tell-all Amazon Prime documentary – titled Rooney – follows his career over the years.

The film also takes a deep dive into is personal life and rumoured cheating.

Discussing his infidelities in the doc, Coleen said: “I wouldn’t be standing here if I hadn’t forgiven him.”

However, she insisted Wayne’s past behaviour was “not acceptable”.

Earlier this week, Coleen shared a defiant message with fans shortly after attending the documentary premiere.
